00:00I saw a kid. He was walking and one of the fingers in his leg. They hit a stone. He stumbled.

00:06The impact must have been deep. He started running and he ran for nothing less than 20-30 meters.

00:13Limping, he started running. Now obviously running is no cure for pain.

00:19You watch this happen. You get hit and you start moving fast.

00:23Now that running is no cure for pain. But then that is what you can do.

00:27So you do that. Knowing fully well that it won't help the pain. You still run.

00:32That is what the mind does. It knows that running is no cure for the pain.

00:37It experiences. But the mind knows nothing except running. So it runs.

00:41And in the process of running, it sometimes reaches one person, sometimes the other,

00:45and then something else, and then something else, and then something else.

00:48Some book, some ideology, some fancy thought, some place, relocation, change of job,

00:54another marriage, detachment. The mind runs.

00:57It's because there is pain.

00:58It's because there is pain.
